Next up in the JFK UNGA docket, say hello to the central Asian republics, featuring Azerbaijan in a beautiful A319, and Kyrgyzstan’s distinctive A320, along with Tajikistan in a Dreamliner and Turkmenistan in a 777. #jfk #unga #airplanes #aviation #avgeek

Monday night wrapped up four days at JFK shooting UNGA arrivals. I still have a lot of government/VIP aircraft to post, but in the meantime I think I also captured a worthy new banner pic. #emirates #nba #kjfk #airplanes #aviation #avgeek

UNGA 2025 day two. Much nicer weather today but some aggravating runway changes. Quite a few government aircraft arrived. See alt text for descriptions. #unga #kjfk #airplanes #aviation #avgeek

First day on scene at KJFK. Kuwaiti government brought their ultra rare A340-500, and Qatar came in a sharp B772. The Marine Corps VIP contingent also made an appearance. #kjfk #unga #airplanes #aviation #avgeek

Do I have any followers planning to head to JFK for UN General Assembly arrivals? To anyone unfamiliar, this is a great opportunity to catch some unique and rare aircraft bringing in foreign heads of state, and has become something of a Mecca for aviation spotters. Pics from 2023 attached.

Today marks exactly one year since I started this page. I want to take the opportunity to thank the awesome aviation community here for being some incredibly cool, insightful, and knowledgeable people, I‘ve learned so much and had so much fun interacting with all of you. Burner pic for attention 😎

On Friday of last week two pilots of the 104th FW in Westfield MA took off in their F-15s for their “fini flights”, the final flights of their military careers. When they came back they brought some friends 😳 #f15 #f22 #104fw #barnestormers #kbaf #airplanes #aviation #avgeek

Created by Claude Chudzik the CC-02 first flight in 2007. This amateur-built aircraft is exceptionally beautiful. Thanks to its very pure aerodynamics and a motor of only 200hp, its cruising speed is 324km/h and its maximum speed is 555km/h, with a range of 1000km. © Eric Favereau and Celine Ameiot

The U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II Demonstration Team is in Toronto for the Canadian International Air Show this weekend! The jet looks great with the CN Tower in the background.

I’m angry and sad about a lot of things, but one of our mechanics took this amazing photo of our jet this morning, and I’m glad he did.

We just celebrated world helicopter day, now I find out that there’s a #nationalaviationday ? I don’t have anything extraordinary to share today, just some shots of Sun Country operating a charter flight out of KCEF yesterday. #suncountry #kcef #airplanes #aviation #avgeek

Get to the choppa!!! Today I learned that #worldhelicopterday is a thing 🚁 Here’s some of my favorite helicopter pics, a mix of military and civilian captured at KBAF in Westfield, MA. See alt text for descriptions. #helicopter #kbaf #airplanes #aviation #avgeek

For the air show debut of the Royal Air Force Boeing Wedgetail AEW.1, the Royal International Air Tattoo featured a flypast from the initial RAF Wedgetail WT001 in formation with the Red Arrows. Plus, of course, a tenth Red Arrows Hawk acting as a photoship.

I decided to sit on this one for a few days, but the cat is out of the bag now. On Tuesday an airman getting an incentive flight in an F-15D ejected from the aircraft while it was taxiing. This happened at Barnes Municipal Airport in Westfield, MA. The aircraft is assigned to the 104th FW.

Getting caught up on my photo backlog. Here’s some pics from Leapfest 2025, an annual military skydiving competition held in Rhode Island. Teams from all over the world compete. US Army CH-47 Chinooks give them a lift. #leapfest #skydiving #paratrooper #airplanes #aviation #avgeek

The Breguet Br.462 ‘Vultur’ was a similar, modernised version of the Br.460 medium bomber prototype. It flew in 1936. The Br.462 could carry up to a tonne of bombs and was equipped with a 20 mm cannon in the nose and two machine guns in the rear for defence. Only 3 were produced.

Night all 👍 Pakistan Air Force RIAT 2025 Departure Day : 21/07/25 #Avgeek #Aviation

Another highlight of RIAT 2025, representing the martime patrol aspect of the 'Eyes in the Skies' theme came from Flotille 23F of the French Aéronaval with Bréguet Atlantique 2 number 5. I must say, it was an absolute joy to hear the old Rolls-Royce Tyne turboprops in action.

Hustler appreciation post No, not that Hustler 🤭 The magnificent Convair B-58 supersonic bomber. The B-58 had a relatively short service life: 1960-1970. It carried a large pod under the fuselage which housed fuel and weapons. I’ve seen five of the surviving B-58s. See alt text for locations.

My first time seeing an Antonov An-74T-200 tactical transport. Named “Coaler,” she is a rare aircraft to see in Europe. The Egyptian Air Force 533rd Squadron operate three of these aircraft, bringing one for static display at #riat25. She was one of my highlights with a striking desert camouflage.
